Release v0.16.22

Important

The default behavior for cilium upgrade has changed such that Helm values will be reset and then reused. This behavior can be reverted to the previous behavior by setting --reset-then-reuse-values=false or by explicitly specifying --reuse-values or --reset-values which always take precedence over --reset-then-reuse-values. See cilium/cilium#36347 for details.
